After Action Report
The Hawks upended the Celtics 122-113. The Hawks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Hawks bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
